    I really love your tutorials and have notifications activated to ensure that I never miss one. You have a unique gift of easily overcoming potentially troublesome issues. May I ask one big favour please? Any chance you could wind down the rock music in between narration, don’t get me wrong I am a fan but I do find it just a little too intrusive. I realise I’m probably in the minority, just saying as I don’t think it needs to be that loud. Cheers.

    Man, you just made my life a living hell hahaha I have been designing my fliptop cupboard for the last 2 weeks and now I come across your great video and it has told my design to get lost hahaha A video really well done and the project is amazing, thanks mate! Also, I went to look at your channel and saw you have a few videos only. Judging by the excellent work you have made, like the table for your mitre saw, you should make more videos... Your craftsmanship is great, mate!

    We used to put these rigs in kitchen cabinets for big mixers to pop up to counter height.

    Like the design, very well thought out. Was reading through the comments and it seems like people forget that you took the time to make it, explain it and show ste by step how to build it. Some people rather sh!t all over something complaining about music etc rather than thanking you for sharing your idea. Thanks fo sharing!

    I am currently working on my own rendition of a mobile workbench station and was looking for ideas for the bandsaw, planer, drill press, and router table to all tuck under to leave a clean workspace for assembly. This is a really clean idea and I’ll be using this in customer sizes for all the tools. Thank you for making it.

    Holy crap. What a great solution. I use a wheelchair in my small (garage) shop and have been struggling with coming up with a flip-cart design that would accommodate my sander (I have the Bauer (Harbor Freight) branded version of the same sander) as well as my DW735 thickness planer since space is at a premium. At my height, getting enough flip-clearance and not end up with the sander table too high is difficult. I spent the last two days making a cart with the DW735 on top and the sander on this type of lift and the result is fantastic. It puts the sander table at just the right height (essentially my slide out drawer is just a flat tray with sides - no riser necessary) and stows away easily under the planer when I don't need it. The only drawback is that I don't have much clearance behind the sander with the planer there, but I've never needed that really and with the weight of the planer I can pull the drawer out a bit to offer more clearance if the occasion does present itself even though the whole thing is on a rolling cart. Thanks for this idea!

    • @FullSteamDesigns
      @FullSteamDesigns  2 года назад

      That’s a great idea. Have a mobile cart with your planer on top and this sander below it. I wonder if somehow you could fit 2 tools below the planer. They could each come out on the sides so it wouldn’t block the planer from being used.

  • @jzsuperstar9948
    @jzsuperstar9948 Год назад +1

    I was going to build a flip-top for my spindle sander and belt sander. I have VERY limited space and having a flip-top would free up some of that space but this concept is much better. I can have 2 or 3 bench top machines lined up along the wall and with this "flip-up" idea I wont have to drag the flip-top out to access them. And that also gives me much more, valuable, work bench space. Thank you! Glad I found this.

    Thanks for a great idea. I have a Blackstone 22" griddle on a pullout in my outdoor kitchen. The only complaint I have is that it is lower than my counter height. I am going to re design the pullout and incorporate your lift system to bring it to above the counter, a better height for grilling. I will write back with the results.

    Great job and fantastic idea! I just started building a base cabinet to store my bench tools in and to have a work surface to use them on. I've looked at flip tops, ceiling tracks with pulley or winch lifts, and even lifts similar to yours. I finally gave up and decided to keep it simple by placing to tools on pull out trays and just lifting them manually onto the bench. Your idea is by far the best I've seen, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video. I'm sure this application will work great for at least some of my tools if not all. Thank you so much!

    Have followed with great interest your "under the workbench" project and must state = for stationary, fixed (large / long) workbenches with sufficient free space under the work surface, your idea / implementation is certainly a gain, absolutely! BUT - if you have to get along with little space, stow machines and move in the room, the flip-top cabinet also has its justification. You just have to adjust the proportions, if necessary implement a handle for more safety, the larger machines you attach to the turntable and you just have to be careful when changing the tools / turn the work surface. In any case, I would not use the statement "THIS is ...".
    Conclusion: It is a pleasure to watch you implement your projects, have already taken one or the other suggestion, thank you for that!
    Please keep up the good work!

    Great solution. Stops stuff going everywhere unlike a flip out or revolving tool stand. For the drawer under my table saw stand, I angled the drawer slides up a bit to make it self closing. Might work here to keep the sander against the bench.

    Nice build. I made a flip-top stand for my planer/sander, but incorporated a drawer in the base. I keep my accessories in ziplock bags inside the drawer so nothing gets lost. Yes, I can’t use the storage built into the sander, but I don’t have the floor or workbench space to spare. Just an alternative suggestion for those with the same issue.

    @Trickmanii Год назад +1

    I am mixed on this. This is another storage solution but it doesn't eliminate the need for a flip top design. Filp top design allows for two machine to be held in a smaller footprint on the floor. Most shops have more unusable/wasted vertical space. Floor space is at a premium always. Still a cool design.

    This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
